Introduction: Orofacial pain (OD) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have a high prevalence in the population, causing great suffering for patients. To train general practitioners able to recognize and treat such disorders, it is necessary that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offer this content satisfactorily during graduation. Materials and Methods: The research sample consists of all Dentistry Faculties in southeastern Brazil in operation in March 2019, which had active and accredited courses on the e-MEC portal of the Ministry of Education of Brazil, and which provided access to the matrix curriculum through online tools (official website or email). The data were analyzed using the GraphPad Prism 5.0 program. Results: Of the 176 HEIs in the southeastern region, 144 (81.8%) were included in the study because they met the inclusion criteria. Of these, only 36% have disciplines related to TMD and OD in their curricular matrices, being offered more in public (52.6%) than private (33.6%) HEIs, for p = 0.1275. Regarding the nature of the discipline, it is predominantly mandatory in private HEIs, and not mandatory in public HEIs (p = 0.0073). As a positive aspect, it was observed that in relation to the type of content covered, theoretical-practical disciplines are addressed in most institutions (59.37%). The average workload (CH) of the discipline is 58.98h (SD = 20.37), being higher in public HEIs. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the majority of Dentistry courses in southeastern Brazil do not offer TMD and DO disciplines, especially private HEIs, which contributes to the training of professionals unprepared to deal with these patients.
